VG247 Review: Street Fighter IV

"Street Fighter 4 is an absolute utter failure as an accessible, new player welcoming fighter, but a resounding, harmonised-trumpet troupe of triumph as a hardcore-focused, fun, deep online fighter that friends and enemies can play online, with a large and dedicated community to boot. It's longevity is as assured as I have friends who carry on to enjoy the game as much as I do, despite the many small faults and that suits me just fine. The Championship pack will add more friend-centric match options, which will likely be welcomed and extend the value of the game. Let's just hope Capcom works in some meaningful character tune-ups in, as they will be needed to keep the goodwill of the hardcore devotees that keep the SF4 community and relevance of the series alive."
